Chapter 90: The Great Disappointment
So, Li Jing subconsciously thought that Shen Qiaoshen was placed in some other position by them.
Thinking of Shen Qiaoshen's delicate and refined temperament, his heart was hot.
Before the other party could reply, he immediately said impatiently:
"What about people?"
The person who came was dressed in gray cloth and looked indifferent, the kind of appearance that was inconspicuous in the crowd.
In the face of Li Jing's questioning, he did not reply immediately.
Instead, he turned his head to look at Li Chun, who was still sitting in the same place.
Compared with Li Jing's urgency, Li Chun seemed much calmer.
After all, it was a scheming and scheming minister, and as soon as this person entered the door, he only glanced at his eyes, and Li Chun knew the result.
Their people were not able to find the little girl of the Shen family.
Also, if something like that happened before, if it were anyone, they would not continue to wander outside, and they would definitely hide back in the house as soon as possible.
……
Li Chun was right, if she was an ordinary lady who went out to look at the lights and was held hostage, she would inevitably run home and cry after finally getting out of trouble.
Even for a while, I may no longer have the courage to go out.
But obviously, Shen Qiaoshen is not an ordinary official girl.
Li Chun would never have imagined that the fourth girl of the Shen family, who he thought had long been hiding in his home, was sitting in the best restaurant in Beijing as if nothing had happened, admiring the lanterns and watching the fireworks.
Not only did she not panic, but she had already learned the identity of her captor.
He even thought about how to use this opportunity to get the greatest benefit for the Shen family.
……
What Shen Qiaoshen was like at this time, Li Chun's father and son didn't know.
At present, they already knew that the people sent out to find people were fruitless, but tonight's incident was too bizarre, and the details of this still need to be carefully scrutinized.
Li Chun never believed that a good person would disappear out of thin air in front of everyone's eyes.
So, looking at the henchman in front of him, Li Chun asked him to repeat tonight's events carefully from beginning to end.
The man in gray looked at Li Jing on the side.
Ever since he knew that they hadn't found Shen Qiaoshen, Li Jing immediately sank a face.
He only said "waste" disdainfully, and then he didn't say anything, just looked at the gray-clothed man's expression and became more and more ugly.
His henchman was so reprimanded by his eldest son, and Li Chun's face was not very good-looking.
Li Chun glanced at Li Jing coldly and motioned for him to stop.
knows that for so many years, the reason why I have been able to have a good life today is all dependent on this father who is the left minister.
So for his father, Li Jing is still a little afraid in his heart.
Receiving the warning in his father's eyes, Li Jing didn't dare to say anything more even if he was unwilling.
Looking at his reluctant appearance, Li Chun wrinkled his gray eyebrows, and then looked at the man in gray.
The "interaction" of Li Chun's father and son was seen by the people in gray.
But when Li Chun's gaze fell on him, the man in gray always hung his head, and stood there with his eyes and nose and nose attentive.
Li Chun is a Wenchen, and he is not from a family.
It is not so easy to secretly cultivate a group of loyal subordinates.
You must know that those big families have already had a complete set of perfect methods for cultivating their subordinates for a long time.
This is not something that can be done in the short term.
Only through generation after generation can the word "loyalty" be deeply rooted in their minds.
And these things cannot be done just by having money and power.
Therefore, no matter how powerful the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion is at the moment, the Li family looks so full of flowers.
But Li Chun knew in his heart that the real power of their Li family was only in the past twenty or thirty years, and it was far from reaching the level of prosperity.
The Li family, compared with the real family, is still a big gap.
And the distance between them is not something that can be caught up in just a few years.
……
But in the court, there will always be some things that cannot see the light.
It is inevitable that someone will need to do these things for themselves in the shadows.
Li Chun has been aware of this since many years ago.
Therefore, since he ascended to the position of left minister, he began to secretly start cultivating the forces under his command.
Countless manpower and material resources have been invested, and after so many years, it is not easy to be able to achieve results.
On weekdays, some things that are inconvenient for Li Chun to come forward will secretly send them to complete.
For example, at this time, the gray-clothed man standing in front of Li Chun with low eyebrows was one of Li Chun's men.
He is Li Chun's most valued confidant and the leader of this operation.
In the past, he obviously did a good job of Li Chun's explanations.
But this time, a little girl who was powerless was held hostage.
Such a simple thing has failed.
And it failed twice in a row.
Previously, the news from the Bai family from the Shen Mansion clearly said that they only had one carriage to travel tonight.
There were only two Shen Qiaoran brothers and sisters in the car, and at most there were a few maids.
Even Shen Yanyan's guards who stayed in Beijing did not accompany him.
So, with just a few people in total, they can still lose people.
As a result, Rao is Li Chun can't figure it out.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Li Chun sat in the chair and said lightly.
looked at the gray-clothed man's gaze unwaveringly, but the gray-clothed man still subconsciously shivered, and said respectfully:
"Xiang Ye, according to Xiang Ye's instructions, his subordinates led people to search the route of the float parade several times, but they never found the whereabouts of the four girls of the Shen family. According to the brothers sent by his subordinates to investigate around the Shen Mansion before, after the four girls disappeared, they have been guarding around the Shen Mansion, except for the two little maids who were sent back to the Mansion later, they have not seen anyone else in the Shen Mansion at all. ”
Speaking of this, the man in gray paused and hesitated:
"But...... The subordinates suddenly remembered something, and I don't know if it would be related to the disappearance of Miss Shen Si. ”
Li Chun glanced up at him and motioned for him to continue.
After the subordinates put the girl of the Shen family on the float, they have been following the float around and never staying away, and everything went smoothly at the beginning. It wasn't long before a loud bang was heard, followed by smoke around the float, but it quickly dissipated. ”
"The subordinate thought it was pre-designed, so he didn't pay much attention to it, but he also took the opportunity to take a look at the float......
"Only then did I realize that the float was empty......
"My subordinates also just remembered it, but I was afraid that the commotion at that time was just a smoke bomb."
"People...... It should be the ...... who escaped at that time."
By the end, the voice of the man in gray became quieter and quieter.
After he finished speaking, no one made a sound for a long time, and there was silence in the study.
